2808 3rd St Apartment

Calling all vintage lovers, old-soul romantics, and anyone who has ever whispered “wait, is that an avocado green stove?” with genuine delight. This character-filled 1 bedroom, 1 bath Santa Monica hideaway is full of retro charm, original details, and just enough modern convenience to keep things easy. Set behind and below the main house on a multi-family property, this is one of two rental units with its own cozy, tucked-away feel. Inside, you’ll find original hardwood floors, a roomy living room, and a spacious bedroom with A/C, giving you plenty of space to spread out, settle in, and make it your own. The kitchen is a full-on vintage moment in the best possible way, with a stainless steel refrigerator, adorable in-kitchen booth seating, and that fabulous avocado green stove bringing all the retro personality. It’s quirky, charming, and absolutely not trying to be a gray-and-white flip, thank goodness! You’ll also have dedicated parking behind the units and a small private patio for a little morning coffee, evening spritz, or “I simply need five minutes outside” moment. There is no laundry on-site, so this is your official invitation to embrace the fluff-and-fold life. The owner lives upstairs and there is a neighboring rental unit next door, so this home is best suited for someone who appreciates peaceful, harmonious living. And the location? So good. You’re less than two blocks east of Main Street, which means Heavy Handed smash burgers, Triple Beam pizza, coffee, shops, restaurants, and all that lovely Santa Monica beachside energy are right at your fingertips. Grab a Nancy Silverton slice, stroll toward the sand, and enjoy living moments from some of the best little pockets on the Westside.
